Overview
As one of China's most famous gardens, the private guided tour of the Summer Palace is led by a professional English-speaking guide throughout, allowing you to explore in depth. Without a guide, you might only see the garden's surface—but this beautiful landscape holds stories of important historical figures, and it takes a guide to help you uncover these hidden narratives. During the tour, you will visit the major buildings in the garden, learn about the gardening wisdom of ancient times, listen to the historical context of this stunning garden, and discover the legendary story of Empress Dowager Cixi, who held power for 48 years. We offer a variety of package options: you can either go to the Summer Palace to meet up on your own, choose the service with private car transfers, or opt for the 6-hour in-depth tour package, catering to your different exploration needs for the Summer Palace.
